By Clayton Predmore
Software development has some classic books that have stood the test of time. You've probably heard of them, but how many have you actually read?
This session will give you a chance to discover that some of the issues you are grappling with are not new, for instance:
- Why do we give away code for free?
- Why is D8 using Dependency Injection (and what the heck is it anyway)?
- Why won't this project ever end?
- How do I get people to do good work?
- Why don't end users understand how to use the site?
Many of these questions even have answers!
Books that will be reviewed include:
- The Cathedral and the Bazaar
- Design Patterns (gang of four)
- The Mythical Man Month
- Peopleware
- Don't Make Me Think
- And more...
